Astep reintroduces a remarkable suspension light in handblown opal glass. For more than half a century, the SB Cinquantotto design has held a special place in the Sarfatti family. A characteristic shape, an original wire mounting and a timeless choice of materials make the SB Cinquantotto pendant a true masterpiece for contemporary living.
The great Italian lighting master Gino Sarfatti fitted the Sarfatti holiday house by Lake Como with the prototype of this design by the architectural duo Santi Borachia. This piece remains an irreplaceable part of the interior in present times.
Cinquantotto was designed by the architectural duo Santi Borachia in 1958. Like other talented Italian architects and designers, Carlo Santi and Vittorio Borachia found a creative breeding ground in Arteluce, the renowned lighting company founded by Gino Sarfatti.
